Sometimes I feel like a bug splattered across a windshield 

I think I am the only that understands my jokes

My best friends agree 

Sometimes I feel like the world is against me

Sometimes I feel like I should be against the world

My mom thinks I'm a drama queen

I think she's right 

Sometimes I forget the beauty of life

Sometimes I forget the meaning of hope 

Little kids crack me up

They remind me of the goodness in people 

Sometimes I lose faith in God

Sometimes I forget that there is a Goddess in me

I believe I can change the world

I believe my voice can make a difference 

Sometimes I forget that perfection can never be reached

Sometimes I forget that I can still try 

I find driving on an empty tank riskyyy

My parents call it laziness

Damn, they know me too well 

Sometimes I lose sense of myself

On some days I feel ugly 

I think I can sing

No

I know I can sing like Mariah Carey

But

Only in the shower 

Sometimes I play the shy card - Out of convenience

But most of the time I don't 

Sometimes I forget how lucky I am

I feel like that makes me ungrateful 

Sometimes I forget that there is beauty in even the darkest of time

I can't think about sadness that I've known without crying

I don't believe ignorance is bliss 

I believe

even in this midst of chaos

even in this absence of Utopia

good triumphs 

Sometimes I forget the meaning of empathy

I believe in kindness

Sometimes I feel inadequate

I believe in love

Sometimes I drive myself crazy

These values

These imperfections

These beliefs

These ideals

These feelings of momentary defeat 

Cannot be compared

Cannot be pressured

Are resilient to judgment

Defy limits

And will not be sold

or told

the meaning of beautiful 

Because

I believe this...

is already beauty 

This me 

This you
